Musings From the Clothes Line
I was thrilled this Summer, when Hubby installed our new clothes line. My main reason for being so, was that it would help bring down our hydro bill.
We had a fairly dry Summer and so I had lots of opportunities to hang my clothes out to dry, almost every weekday! And here we are in September and still basking in the sunshine!
As I got into my Summer laundry routine, I began to enjoy this new chore.
I found that hanging clothes out to dry became a thoughtful time. Somehow, it became more relaxing than folding a load out of the dryer.
Maybe because it's a quiet chore, done outside, reminiscent of days gone by.
Then to watch things blowing in the breeze, only to take them down, sink my face into them and breathe in that fresh air scent.
'Thank-you, Mr. Sun, for your contribution to my housework.'
I don't know how much longer I'll be able to dry outside.
Once the Fall rains begin in this neck of the woods, we may not see Mr. Sun until Spring! (Even then, it's iffy!)
I will enjoy my last few days of fresh air drying, and look forward to when I'm able to break out the clothes pins once more!
